Can prayer for work impact your workday?
Some of you will say: “Absolutely, it can”
Whereas for others, work and prayer do not seem to be directly related. Prayers are rather reserved for the places of cult, they say.
Some people say prayers for work when they have a big problem at the office, according to the motto: “When in fear, God is near”
There is no doubt that God helps us when we are in real need, but limiting our workplace prayers only to significant job challenges means that you do not fully understand the real power of prayers or how they can impact your day at the workplace.
Regardless of what we may experience throughout our day, workplace prayer is a way to keep us focused and performing at our best ability. We can achieve it through a morning prayer before work or a workplace prayer during our office hours.
Everything you need for your workday can be found, obtained, and received through prayer. Do you want to stay focused on the task at hand? Do you need wisdom on how to do things better? Maybe you need energy for your long day and peace for difficult choices. Or maybe you lack stress resilience when facing an extremely difficult negotiation. If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then prayer is exactly what you need.
Prayer is the confidence to speak at your business meeting and the bright idea that you need for your presentation. Prayer is the peace to deal with unruly customers and to ask for that promotion you know you have worked hard for. The wonderful thing about prayer is that it can be whatever you need it to be.
Net, prayer is the secret weapon to success in the workplace.
Workplace prayer can seem more like an extra task on your to-do list and just another thing that you must make time for, but it is far more than that.
Once you begin to see prayer as the foundation that holds your workday together instead of just another thing to do, you will begin to see the difference in your day. Eventually, prayer will become as natural as setting your alarm clock for work or clocking in at the start of your day.
It doesn’t have to be some long ritualistic duty that takes all day. Prayer can be quick and said under your breath anywhere you are.
You can pray in your head and never have the words leave your mouth, and they can still be just as effective and produce the same results.
If you are interested in changing your workday for the better, check out these prayers for work that can be used by believers of different religions. If you are Christian, you may finish each prayer with “In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Muslims can end with “Peace be upon you and God’s blessings”.
Morning Prayer Before an Important Meeting at Work
Lord, as I wake up this morning, I am thankful for a new day. I pray that I may face the meeting ahead of me with confidence and assurance. Help to settle my thoughts and to project the information for the meeting in a way that captivates those in the room. Give me peace and calm any nervous jitters I may get, keeping my thoughts focused and my words intentional.
Help me to make eye contact with all those who may be in the room and to represent the company in a way they can be proud of. May I have the perfect blend of personality and professionalism and help me to remember to gather everything I may need to pull off a perfect meeting.
Prayer for a Good Day at Work
Before I go to work today, I wanted to start off by asking you to prepare my heart for whatever may take place. I ask that today may be a good day, which means that your peace is ever present with me to keep me in tranquility despite what may occur during the day. Help me to organize my day in a way that would keep me free from rushing, wasted time, mistakes and anxiety.
I ask that you would bless my thoughts, words, and actions today. Help me to walk in your love, and do my job with a full heart, overflowing with kindness into the lives of others. Regardless of what transpires, may I be aware of your presence, knowing that as long as you are here, it will always be a good day.
Strength To Do My Job
Some days at work may be more difficult than others; to be honest, sometimes I just don’t feel I have what it takes to get the job done. I need your strength. I know it is in my weakness that you can show yourself strong and mighty on my behalf.
Help me to remember that it is not about my capability and my strength but your ability to work through me when I allow myself to be used by you.
God, have your way in my life today and empower me to do my job in a way that brings glory to you.
Keep Me From Distractions
As much as I want to give all my focus to my job, I am often bombarded by distractions. Help me to center my thoughts on fulfilling my obligations to my job in a way that is reflective of your character and goodness.
Help me to silence the need for social media and constant attention to my phone and other devices. Help me not to get so wrapped up in what is going on in the lives of others around me that I neglect the importance of my own responsibilities.
Help me to set my notifications and alerts on my devices in a way that I may not be distracted but instead fully focused on the task at hand.
Give Me Directions in My Daily Tasks
There are a lot of things that come my way daily, and I am not always sure of what to do. God, I ask that you not only show me what to do but help me to prioritize my daily tasks.
Show me what needs to be done and how I can execute it in a way that requires maximum results with minimal energy.
Show me who can assist me in completing these tasks. Help me not to rush, to be fully engaged and not afraid to ask for help.
Bless My Creativity and Ideas
God, help me to utilize the gifts, talents, and ideas that you have given me to contribute to my company. Bless my creativity so that I may be able to produce new ideas and strategies that benefit my workplace.
Help me to see where my gifts and talents can be most useful and in what ways they will be beneficial.
Prayer for Workplace Prosperity
Thank you for my job. I ask that you bless my workplace with more business and revenue.
Help me to develop ways to better serve consumers, thus making a more prosperous work environment. Help me to gain new contracts and business deals that would further establish the brand as a company.
Give me a clear vision of what the brand is and help me to project it in a way that attracts the right consumers.
